more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local

Service Centre, and always insist on genuine

spare parts.

Use

• The domestic refrigerators and freezers are

designed to be used specifically for the storage

of edible foodstuffs only.

• Best performance is obtained with ambient tem-

perature between +18°C and +43°C (class T);

+18°C and +38°C (class ST); +16°C and +32°C

(class N); +10°C and +32°C (class SN). The

class of your appliance is shown on its rating

plate.

Warning: when the ambient temperature is not

included within the range indicated for the class

of this appliance, the following instructions must

be observed: when the ambient temperature

drops below the minimum level, the storage tem-

perature in the freezer compartment cannot be

guaranteed; therefore it is advisable to use the

food stored as soon as possible.

• Frozen food must not be re-frozen once it has

been thawed out.

• Manufacturers’ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instruc-

tions.

• The inner lining of the appliance consists of

channels through which the refrigerant passes. If

these should be punctured this would damage

the appliance beyond repair and cause food loss.

DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape

off frost or ice. Frost may be removed by using a

plastic scraper. Under no circumstances should

solid ice be forced off the liner. Solid ice should

be allowed to thaw when defrosting the appli-

ance. See defrost instructions.

• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the

freezer as it creates pressure on the container,

which may cause it to explode, resulting in dam-

age to the appliance.

Installation

• There are working parts in this product which

heat up. Always ensure that there is adequate

ventilation as a failure to do this will result in

component failure and possible food loss. See

installation instructions.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

Important: if the supply cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by a special cord or assembly avail-

able from the manufacturer or its service agent.

• Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Wherever possible the back of the product

should be against a wall.

• If the appliance has been transported horizontal-

ly, it is possible that the oil contained in the com-

pressor flows in the refrigerant circuit. It is advis-

able to wait at least two hours before connecting

the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the

compressor.

USE

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, wash

the interior and all internal accessories with luke-

warm water and some neutral soap so as to remove

the typical smell of a brand-new product, then dry

thoroughly.

Do not use detergents or abrasive

powders, as these will damage the finish.

lower settings or reduced (colder) rotating the knob

towards higher settings.

However, the exact setting should be chosen

keeping in mind that the temperature inside the

refrigerator depends on:

• room temperature;

• how often the door is opened;

• the quantity of food stored;

• location of appliance.

A medium setting is generally the most suitable.

Important

If the ambient temperature is high or the

appliance is fully loaded, and the appliance is set

to the lowest temperatures, it may run

continuously causing frost to form on the rear

wall. In this case the dial must be set to a higher

temperature to allow automatic defrosting and

therefore reduced energy consumption.

Operation

Insert the plug into the wall socket.

Open the refrigerator door and turn the thermostat

knob, clockwise, beyond the «O» (STOP) position.

The appliance will start to operate.

To stop operation, simply turn the thermostat knob to

position «O».

Temperature regulation

The temperature is automatically regulated and can

be increased to achieve a higher temperature

(warmer) by rotating the thermostat knob toward

Environment Protection

This appliance does not contain gasses which

could damage the ozone layer, in either its

refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The

appliance shall not be discarded together with

the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging

the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the

heat exchanger. Information on your local

disposal sites may be obtained from municipal

authorities. The materials used on this appliance

marked by the symbol are recyclable.

Door reversal

Unplug the refrigerator from the wall socket before

performing the following operations:

1. Remove the lower hinge (1), and the support foot

(2).

2. Unscrew the front left support foot and screw it

into the corresponding position on the opposite

side.

3. Unscrew the two screws which hide the fixing

holes of the hinge on the left-hand side.

4. Detach the lower door from the central hinge (H).

5. Remove the centrai hinge and detach the upper

door from the pin (G). Unscrew the pin (G) and

screw it into the corresponding position on the

opposite side, after having removed the plugs

which must be refitted on the other side.

6. Remove the two plugs, and remount them on the

other side.

7. Re-assemble the upper door, the centrai hinge

and the lower door.

8. Re-assemble the lower hinge (1) and the support

foot (2) on the opposite side.

Attention

After completion of the door reversibility operation,

verify that the door gasket is adherent to the cabinet.

If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the

gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that

case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or

accelerate this process by heating up the part

involved with a normal hairdrier.

Fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in

the refrigerator;

• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a

strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely round

it.

Freezing fresh food

The 4-star compartment is suitable for

long term storage of commercially frozen food and

for freezing fresh food.

To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to move the

thermostat knob from the normal setting. However,

for a faster freezing operation, turn the thermostat

knob to the coldest setting; but remember that, in

this condition, the refrigerator compartment

temperature might drop below 0°C. If this occurs

reset thermostat knob to a warmer setting.

Storage of frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use,

before putting the products in the compartment let

the appliance run for at least two hours on the

coldest setting, then turn the thermostat knob to the

normal operating position.

Important

If there is a power failure when food is in the

freezer, do not open the door of the freezer

compartment. The frozen food will not be

affected if the power cut is of short duration (up

to 6-8 hours) and the freezer compartment is full,

otherwise, it is recommended that the food

should be used within a short time (a

temperature increase of the frozen food shortens

its safe storage period)..

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can

be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room

temperature, depending on the time available for this

operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen,

directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will

take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for

the production of ice-cubes. Fill these trays with

water, then put them in the freezer compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the

trays from the freezer.

Location

The appliance should be installed well away from

sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct

sunlight etc.

Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back

of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the

appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall

unit, the minimum distance between the top of the

cabinet and the wall unit must be at least 100 mm

(A). Ideally, however, the appliance should not be

positioned below overhanging wall units (B).

Accurate levelling is ensured by one or more

adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.

INSTALLATION

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and

frequency shown on the serial number plate

correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage

can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.

For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized

auto-transformer must be used.

The appliance must be earthed.

The power supply cable plug is provided with a

contact for this purpose.

If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,

connect the appliance to a separate earth in

compliance with current regulations, consulting a

specialist technician.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if

the above safety precautions are not observed.

This appliance complies with the following

E.E.C. Directives:

- 87/308 EEC of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference

suppression.

- 73/23 EEC of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and

subsequent modifications;

- 89/336 EEC of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic

Compatibility Directive) and subsequent

modifications.

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant

documentation also contains two rear wall spacers to

be fitted into special slots on the back of the

appliance. Fit the spacers into the slots, taking care

to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown

in the figure. Next, turn them through 45° (arrow in

vertical position) until they lock into place.

D040

Movable shelves

The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a

series of runners so that the shelves can be

positioned as desired.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,

the door shelves can be adjusted in height.

To make these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows

until it comes off, then reposition as required.

PR260

Freezing Calendar

The symbols show different types of frozen goods.

The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower

value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing.

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a

special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can

be turned on with the switch ( see fig. 1). The green

light, when on, means that the fan is working.

It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when

the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .

It should be remembered that the thermostat knob

must be placed (see fig.2) within the sector .

This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a

more uniform temperature in the compartment.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS

If the appliance is not functioning properly, check

that:

• the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains

power switch is on;

• there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging

in another appliance);

• the thermostat knob is in the correct position.

• If there are water drops on the bottom of the

cabinet, check that the defrost water drain

opening is not obstructed (see “Defrosting”

section).

• If your appliance is still not working properly after

making the above checks, contact the nearest

service centre.

To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you

apply for it you specify the model and serial number

of your appliance which can be found on the

guarantee certificate or on the rating plate located

inside the appliance, on the bottom left-hand side.

Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial

means to speed up the thawing process other than

those recommended by the manufacturer.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the

inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out

as follows:

1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the

thermostat knob to the «O» setting;

2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers

of newspaper and put it in a cool piace;

3. leave the door open;

4. dry the interior thoroughly and refit the plug;

5. turn the thermostat knob back to the required

setting or replace the plug in the power socket.

After two or three hours, reload the previously

removed food into the compartment.

Important:

A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during

defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place

on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.

For safety, store in this way only one or two days

at the most.

Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these should be

covered and may be placed on any shelf.

Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly

cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)

provided.

Butter and cheese: these should be placed in

special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium

foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as

possible.

Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should

be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process,

here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further

food to be frozen should be added during this

period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly

cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be

rapidly and completely frozen and to make it

possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity

required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene

and make sure that the packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food

which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in

temperature of the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer than fatty

ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on

each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of

the storage time;

HINTS

• do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,

etc.) in the freezer compartment as they may

burst.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,

you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs

were adequately stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from

the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest

possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and

cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by

the food manufacturer.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out

any maintenance operation.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,

take the following precautions:

remove the plug from the wall socket;

remove all food;

defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;

leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Interior light

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment

can be reached as follows:

• unscrew the light cover securing screw.

• unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.

If the light does not come on when the door

is open, check that it is screwed into place

properly. If it still does not light up, change

the bulb. The rating is shown on the light

bulb cover.

D411

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of

soda.

Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage the

plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it

is recommended that the outer casing of this

appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a

little washing-up liquid added.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor

at the back of the appliance with a brush or a

vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the

performance of the appliance and save electricity

consumption.

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator

of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor

compressor stops, during normal use.

The defrost water drains out through a trough into a

special container at the back of the appliance, over

the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water

overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will

find already inserted into the drain hole.

The freezer compartment, however, will become

progressively covered with frost. This should be

removed with a plastic scraper, whenever the

thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this

operation it is not necessary to switch off the power

supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost

from the evaporator as you could damage it.
